Product information
GENERAL INFORMATION
LUMAX provides selective control of annual grass and broadleaf weeds in corn. It has a high level of crop safety to allow for flexibility of application timing in corn. To make sure weed control during the critical weed free period, this product may be applied surface preplant, pre emergent and post emergent. LUMAX will not provide control of emerged grass weeds that are past the 2 leaf stage. It will only provide long-season control of the weeds listed below at the higher rate. At the low rate, it will provide short-term suppression.
This product contains three active ingredients and is a one-pass broad-spectrum weed control product for use in corn. It may also be tank-mixed with non-selective herbicides to control a wide range of emerged weeds. Consult the tank mix partner labels for precautions, use rates and weeds controlled.
APPLICATION IN LIQUID FERTILIZERS
Nitrogen solutions, excluding suspension fertilizers, may replace water as a carrier for surface preplant or pre-emergence application of LUMAX in corn. Do not apply nitrogen solutions as a carrier to corn that has emerged. Always predetermine the compatibility of this product in tank mixes with your liquid fertilizer carrier by mixing small proportional quantities in advance. Even if it is physically compatible with a fluid fertilizer, constant agitation is necessary to maintain a uniform mixture during application.
MIXING AND SPRAYING INSTRUCTIONS
Protect sprayer operators from drift or mist. When low volumes of spray are applied, complete coverage and thorough application are essential for most effective results. Schedule applications in accordance with local conditions. Consult your local agricultural authorities for specific use information.
GROUND APPLICATION ONLY
Water Volume:
Apply in 100 – 200 litres per hectare.
Spray Pressure:
200 - 275 kPa
Spray Nozzles:
Flat Fan with 50 mesh or larger screens. Do not use floodjet or controlled droplet application
equipment for post emergent application.
Mixing Procedure:
1. Ensure that the sprayer is totally clean.
2. Fill the sprayer half full with water. Engage gentle agitation. All return lines to the spray tank must discharge below the liquid level.
3. Ensure that the agitation system is working properly and that it creates a rippling or rolling action on the water surface.
4. Add the herbicide slowly and agitate until completely dispersed. To ensure complete dispersion, wait 2 or 3 minutes after the product has been added to the tank.
5. Fill the tank to three quarters full with water.
6. Add the glyphosate-containing tank-mix partner, if required.
7. Continue agitation while completing the filling of the sprayer with water.
8. Always ensure that agitation is maintained until spraying is completed, even if stopped for brief periods of time. Reduce agitation once tank volume is reduced to about
one third of capacity.
9. If agitation is stopped for more than 5 minutes, re-suspend the spray solution by running on full agitation prior to spraying. This product must be sprayed the same day
as mixing. Do not allow spray solution to remain in tank overnight.
10. Do not mix, load or clean spray equipment where there is a potential to contaminate wells or aquatic systems.
